Gargan followed Morbius down the stairs that led to the laboratory. He looked around, examining various machines and chemicals.
"This is quite an impressive lab you have here," Gargan said.
"You don't sound very impressed," Morbius replied.
"It's nighttime. I feel tired."
"As you know, I don't fell tired at night."
Morbius took off his cloak, revealing his vampiric face. Gargan was hesitant to speak, taking off his hat to hold in front of his neck.
"Um... You don't look like you've aged a bit."
"That is a lie! I look older. I seem to remember hiring you a few years back to search for someone who could possibly cure my condition. You never got back to me."
"I couldn't find a cure. I even got close to uncovering lairs of other vampires. But they were always slain by this 'Daywalker.' I could never find a cure, and I don't think even they had any idea what it was. They probably didn't want to be cured. They enjoyed what they did."
"Do you think I enjoy what I do?"
"You seem to be productive in here."
"I am productive because I need a cure. Answer me this: Why did you never inform me that you could not find a cure?"
"To be honest, I was scared. I had heard of what these other vampires had done. I was worried about what you might do to me if I did not complete your request."
"So what makes you think that I would want to help you?"
"Because I have come to warn you of someone who may endanger you. I will give you this information in exchange for information about John Jameson."
"I have hired someone to capture Man-Wolf. If he completes his job, he should be back a bit later. How about this? I will tell you about how Jameson became a wolf and how he can be cured. Then, you can tell me about this threat that you speak of. When Man-Wolf is brought to me, we will see where we go from there. Do you agree to these conditions?"
"I suppose I have no choice."
"There is a scientific explanation for how man becomes monster. For the Green Goblin, it was a machine made by Oscorp. For Doctor Octopus, it was mechanical tentacles. For Vulture, it was a mechanical flight harness. And I believe that Lizard may have been a result of a scientific experiment gone wrong. I have studied the stars and what lies beyond them. There are many mysteries out there. I have heard of symbiotic creatures that are able to take over other organisms, making them evil. This is what struck New York three years back. There is also radiation, which gave the Fantastic Four their powers. John Jameson, however, did not transform through this. Rather, he took a Godstone from the Moon. It must gotten under the skin of his neck and transformed him into the creature that you all call Man-Wolf. I want the Godstone so that I may see whether or not I can use it to reverse the effects of my experiment that went wrong."
"So we're gonna get that thing out of John's neck?"
"I have told you all that I know, Gargan. Now tell me what you know."
Mac Gargan pulled an envelope out of his trench coat. He handed it to Morbius. Morbius opened it and examined its contents.
"Kraven the Hunter," Gargan explained. "You may have heard of him last year when he tried hunting Lizard. I observed his activities for a couple of years, thinking that he may be a threat to you."
"You examined him because you believed that you would need me in the future."
"I examined him because I wanted some sort of information that I could give you. I have learned that he has become stronger than before, through means that I don't know. Maybe it's scientific. Maybe you can defeat him if he tries tracking you down, and then you can interrogate him."
"This seems very interesting, Gargan. If you look at the monitors, you will see that my associate has arrived. There he is, carrying Man-Wolf with him. Be ready."
